Results are obtained estimating Eq. (1) adding a three-way interaction between the temperature bins, the median temperature of the province and the SES groups. For conciseness, the categories with temperature between the 10th and 90th percentile are not included and considered as the comfort zone. Constant present but not reported. The Low SES category is at the reference level. Control variables are precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity, GDP per capita, PM2.5, gender and population density. Standard errors are clustered at the provincial level. Significance levels: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
